Just look me up as tfabris (at) gmail.com. It lets you look it up by email address. My in-game name contains special characters that would be hard to type. :-)

I play a lot of Counter-Strike: Source.

I went through HL2: Episode One a few days ago and now am going back through it with the commentary on. Anyone else played through it yet?

Only the instant it became available through Steam.

I liked it. I'm also going through it a second time, more slowly, in commentary mode. Enjoying that a lot, too.

Although, there weren't any moments in HL2:Ep1 that took my breath away like some of the moments in HL2 did. HL2 contained several incredible set-pieces that were just mind-boggling and unforgettable. Ep1 has got some "good" moments, and some "fun" moments, and some "interesting" moments, and some "funny" moments, but nothing overwhelming or incredibly memorable.

I'm hoping that this was due to the scope of the gameplay in Ep1: The cramped feeling of having to escape from the Citadel and City 17. The sneak preview scenes of Ep2 make it look like much more of it will be set in the countryside outside of City 17, and this bodes well for the game in my opinion. The larger playfield should open up the possibility for more expansive and interesting scenes.
